Greg Landsman

Ohio's 1st congressional district

OH-1 Midterms Intelligence

Greg Landsman sits in a Cincinnati-anchored seat that is Democratic but not sleepy: OH-1 leans D+9, yet its 91% competitiveness score reflects a district still shaped by suburban swing voters and ticket-splitting habits. In just three years, Landsman has consolidated a coalition of urban Democrats, college-educated professionals, and pragmatic suburbanites, helped by a district trending left but still attentive to public safety, cost of living, and competence. The defining constituency fact is its hybrid economy and electorate—more white-collar than old industrial Ohio, but still grounded in service institutions and middle-class neighborhoods.

For advocates, this is a persuasion district, not a base-mobilization play. Healthcare and education employ 24.5% of workers, median income sits at $80,294, and the message sweet spot is pragmatic problem-solving: lower costs, protect coverage, strengthen communities, and avoid ideological overreach. Landsman’s Energy and Commerce perch makes health, consumer protection, and local economic resilience especially resonant; campaigns that tie policy to family stability, neighborhood safety, and mental health will travel better than purely partisan appeals.

Representative Greg Landsman represents Ohio's 1st congressional district, serving 794,614 constituents. The district has an estimated median household income of $80,294 and an unemployment rate of 4.7%.
